CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. — The United Methodist Churches of Mt. Zion, Antioch, Marion and Salem along with the Lone Oak and Memorial Baptist churches will host the sixth annual I Scream for FUEL, Ice Cream Freeze-Off. The event is to raise much needed funds to support the FUEL program that provides non-perishable, easy to prepare food items for young children in the Montgomery County Schools. Many children rely on school breakfast and lunch for their primary meals each day. The food items supplied help to supplement them over the weekend.

Salem United Methodist is looking for those creative cooks who like to dabble in delicious frozen treats to submit their favorite ice cream concoctions to the contest. Saturday, August 27 ice cream enthusiasts will face off against each other to determine who has created the most delectable ice cream flavor. Celebrity judges will be on hand to sample the entries and determine the winners. “Everyone can enjoy the music of The Back Lot Pickers while they sample the ice cream and help us raise funds for a great program. Snowbird will be there as well as several other characters on hand for pictures with the children,” stated Carol Ussery, event committee chairperson.

If you are one of those great cooks who also has a truly exciting homemade ice cream treat you would like to enter, contact Salem United Methodist Church at 931-645-2544 or Carol Ussery at 931-647-6846. Deadline for entry is Wednesday, August 24.

For those of you out there who really only want to eat the ice cream and not create it, come by Salem United Methodist Church from 4 – 6 p.m. on Saturday, August 27 for hot dogs, chips, a drink and some ice cream sampling. Donations at the door for FUEL would be greatly appreciated.
